Physical meaning of mass divided by velocity squared

[simplemind]

TL;DR

i try to understand what physical entity mass or massdensity divided by speedquadrat could be?
Any ideas?
thanks

Massdensity per speedquadrat. What else?

I've no clue, what such a quantity would be good for. Do you have a reference, where it is used?

For a given projectile shape (fixed cross section and coefficient of drag), mass divided by the square of speed would be a good figure of merit for the decelleration of a bullet.

Higher numbers mean higher effective inertia against air resistance. It is inversely proportional to the decelleration.

and meters per seconds is meters per seconds. what else :-)

I have already found an answer.The Thread can be closed.
thanks to all.

And what is the answer?

 

[simplemind]

I have no reference for it so i will not work against the rules.
But it satisfy me.
Thanks

Which rules? I think it's a good rule to provide the answer to a question for people who come later and read this thread!

An answer that you can't post lest it run afould of PF Rules is unlikely to be a very good answer.
